What Causes “Frito Feet”? ~ Dr. Eric Barchas, DVM

[NurseZac]

When my dog gets on the bed, he likes for his head to be pointed down toward the foot of the bed. Therefore, the odor most likely to eek out from him does not smell like Frito's LOL

LOL!

I had a beagle that smelled like corn chips all over not just the feet.

"I have always loved falling asleep to the smell of my dogs' paws."

I understand. But just don't try the same thing with cats.

I hope it wasn’t a Boxer.

LOL! On a related note....

Why Do My Cat's Feet Smell like Fritos Corn Chips?

Scent glands located in the upper folds of the web. Our older Border Collie is blind. She follows the exact same path to do her “rounds” three times a day. She covers about two acres in her daily routine. With her nose to the ground, she follows the exact same path. When she senses our other dogs have crossed her path, she’ll turn off to smell out where they went and then follow the same line of travel right back to her path.

I think Fritos themselves smell like farts.
No interest in sniffing my dogs feet.

Paw fetish anyone? Lol. I don’t really care why a dog’s paws smell, good bad or otherwise. Kinda gross...

[Daffynition]

LOL ...then you need "Rear Gear" ....really. We had a crazy thread 'bout it. ;)

Always thought they smelled like pop corn.

I have a black lab and a yellow lab. About a 1/2 hour after they each finish a rawhide chew, the farting contest begins. And they are BAD ones too!

I’ve noticed that one of my mutts smells like Fritos all over not just the paws, but I always attributed it to the high amount of corn by-products in their feed.

Is that a Barbara joke?

My dog enjoys eating his own feces. We have tried everything.

Not does he not smell like fritos, we stopped letting him near the bed.

I love him to death. But it just makes me sick to watch him munch down. After a long snowy winter, it is like a smorgasbord in the back yard because we missed some in the ice. When the spring comes, the snow gives up its bounty.

Just disgusting.
